James IV of Scotland was the most charismatic, but also the most doomed of the Stewart family to sit on the Scottish throne. Brilliantly clever, handsome and daring, he disdained his brother-in-law, Henry VIII of England, and set out on a flimsy excuse to inflict a resounding defeat on Scotland’s ancient enemy. He almost succeeded. On September 9th, 1513, he and his invading army of 50,000 men stood on Branxton Heights near Flodden and faced an English army of over 25,000.

Born Marie Stuart at Linlithgow Palace in 7th December 1542, she inherited the English throne at a mere six days old and almost immediately became the focus of opposing factions, desperate to control her. This is a wonderfully researched fictionalised account of her life. We also see Mary Queen of Scots through the eyes of Nathan, a pedlar and seller of embroidery threads, who first sets his eyes on the queen as an infant being crowned at Stirling Castle.
